Rocket Internet is a Berlin-based incubator notorious for launching “fast follow” or clone companies. It takes proven business models, such as Zappos and Amazon, and launches them in emerging markets.

Rocket has started more than 100 companies across five continents, and its portfolio has collectively attracted over $900 million in financing in the past year alone. Hefty funding rounds are part of Rocket’s business strategy — it throws millions upon millions of dollars at these companies until they dominate entire regions.

Zalora will use this $112 million to continue adding new brands to its inventory, expand into new geographic regions, and scale to meet demand. In May, the year-old startup already claimed to have “annualized double-digit million USD revenues.”

Like Zappos, it offers a flexible returns policy, free delivery over a certain spend, and quick deliveries.
